Postcards with Home Theme NOW Available!
***Please order some postcards today!!!
Bill Sturgeon and I (Miles Whitley) have released the first postcard (of hopefully a series) with a Home theme. Whether more cards follow depends upon the demand for this one.
One of my first trips as a new Home Member was to the BX. The item that I was looking for, but which they did not have, was postcards showing pictures of some of the beauty and history here at the Home. My search for postcards of the Home continued to the Public Affairs Office, to the Allied Council Office and to the AMVET's lotto booth at the tavern. I was disappointed and surprised that postcards of the Home did not exist!
Well, after almost 2 ½ years since my arrival, we now have at least one postcard with a Home theme! With the photographic genious of Bill Sturgeon Bills Photo Page and with me putting together the design for the postcard, I am pleased to announce the initial postcard of our efforts - one depicting an aerial view of our Holderman Hospital.
Unfortunately, I am unable to show an actual copy of the postcard here on the website, but the front of the postcard will consist of the following aerial image of Holderman Hospital:
The bottom of the front of the postcard shows the name and location of
Holderman Hospital in nice lettering.
The back of the postcard has the following information
at the top:
Greetings from the Veterans' Home of California at Yountville
Main Phone: (707) 944-4600 · Yountville, CA 94599
Public Affairs Office: (707) 944-4541

Again, you really need to see the postcard "in person" to appreciate it. A sample is available on the bulletin board on the right as you enter the front door of Section D.
The NEW prices (7/23/09) for the postcards are:
1 - 5 Postcards ............... $0.75 each*
6 Postcards ................ $3.75*
13 ("Baker's Dozen") .....$7.50*
(* The price INCLUDES a white mailing envelope for each postcard that is purchased.)
At present, the postcards are available thru Bill and myself. We are unsure if there will be "commercial" places where the cards may be purchased in the future (i.e., the BX).
So for now, if you want to purchase the postcards, please contact me directly by e-mail: Miles@VetsOrg.org.
Bill and I are very excited about the release of our first postcard. Please help make our venture a success and support us by purchasing some postcards. Thank you very much!
